Ric,
   It is likely that you have a leaking fuel injector.
  Pull and sniff each plug hole and see if this is
true.   May want to check fuel pressure.   If you do
have a bad injector I have one I will sell for ten
dollars plus shipping for 86 on up?
       regards gary

Subject: 87 EXTREMELY Rich at start-up

Hi,

My 87 is back to one of its nasty behaviors. At start
up, for the first
2
or 3 minutes, it is running so rich that it belches
black smoke, floods
out
(idle goes from 900 to 100 then 0), actually spits out
raw gasoline.
Once
it has been driven for a few minutes, all is
well....until it sits for
a
couple of hours and is re-started and the problem pops
up again.

I have replaced the blue, three pronged temp sensor.
The ISV is
functioning
perfectly. What can be the problem??


Ric
